The Tree Is Up!

I spend yesterday evening decorating the Christmas tree! Once I got through this tedious part of putting on all the lights, I was in my glory putting on the decorations. I love going through the boxes and remembering what ornaments I have and being pleasantly surprised when I come across new ones that I bought last year at after Christmas sales.

The color scheme is white, silver and blue. I had planned on mixing it up a bit this year but I have some many ornaments that I couldn't justify spending money on any new ones. Bear with me, I have learned a lot at my photography class and I've been experimenting with the manual settings on my camera. It is really hard to take a good photo of a Christmas tree!

Here are some shots at night.

Beaufie's little bone ornament!

I love the glowy look of this photo but it's a little grainy because I bumped the ISO speed way up!

We went on the Christmas House tour tonight. It's fun to see how others decorate their home for the holidays. One home had a beautiful color scheme of fresh greenery, copper and turquoise. It was beautiful!

Your tree looks beautiful Jane! I agree it is VERY difficult to take photos of a Christmas tree, but you did a good job. I love that glass/crystal snow flake ornament. And I lvoe the idea of a house tour! How fun...

Thanks so much for linking up last week at our {Home for the Holidays} party. I loved your tree so much we are featuring it this week. ~ Carriehttp://thecorsoncottage.blogspot.com/2011/12/time-flies-when-you-having-fun-at-all.html
